Christian Stewardship
"Catholic Christian stewardship begins with openness to change and
becomes a new person in Christ. Our way of stewardship is to express
gratitude to God by putting faith into action. How can you give
back? By giving of your Time, Talent and Treasures. How can I
respond to God’s call in more than just words? Choose a St. Joseph
Church ministry listed that best fits your God-given gifts and
talents. Be part of the many ways you can put the Eucharist into
action and live as a disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ.
“In truth I say to you, whatever you did to
one of the least of my brothers, you did it to me” (Matt 25:40)
